Gray Leather Cork Glue-Down Flooring

The look of stone tile in cool grays and soft beige, with the quiet, cushioned feel only cork can deliver.

Gray Leather layers multiple tones of gray and beige into a block pattern that reads like natural stone. Because the pattern is non-directional, there is no grain to match and no wrong way to lay a tile: the floor comes together as one calm, cohesive surface that works in both modern and traditional rooms.

Each tile is 12 in x 24 in (305 mm x 610 mm), a full 1/4 in (6 mm) thick, and 100% cork. The square-edged, straight-cut design installs seamlessly, so the finished floor appears as a single large unit rather than a grid of tiles. A high resistance Natural Shield water-based polyurethane finish keeps the surface subdued and easy to live with.

Underfoot, cork has a cushioned feel: millions of natural air cells compress under pressure and spring back to shape, so dropped objects are less likely to leave a permanent ding and long stretches of standing feel more comfortable. Those same air cells insulate against heat loss and mute impact sound by 18 dB, with no separate underlayment required.

Glue down over a clean, level subfloor or suitable concrete at or above grade. Follow the product’s installation requirements for bathrooms, kitchens, entryways and light commercial spaces.

This tile cannot be sanded or refinished. If the surface needs renewing, the factory finish can be lightly abraded and recoated with water-based polyurethane. Solara is the only solid cork floor tile we offer.

Why this floor

• Impact sound reduction of 18 dB: the full 1/4 in (6 mm) of low-density cork absorbs footfall noise, so no separate underlayment is needed.
• Rated Commercial class 31 and Domestic class 23: built for light commercial traffic as well as busy family homes.
• Non-directional block pattern in grays and beige emulates stone tile while staying warm and resilient underfoot.
• Square-edged, straight-cut tiles measuring 12 in x 24 in (305 mm x 610 mm).
• Low VOC emissions and made with formaldehyde-free adhesives (test reports linked below).
• Review the selected product’s emissions documentation and cleaning requirements.
• Backed by a 10-year residential wear warranty, a joint integrity warranty, and a lifetime structural warranty.

Important product note

Glue-down cork tiles must be sealed on site after installation: plan for two coats of Loba 2K polyurethane over the finished floor. Per the finishing guidance, glued down tiles, stained colored products such as Gray Leather, and all commercial installations call for the full two coats; a single coat is only acceptable in low-traffic bedrooms. The adhesive for the installation itself is Wakol D3540 cork adhesive.
